RE: Iseries Cd vs DVD option

We have had two cases of software we produce on a CD-R burned not being able
to be read on these DVD drives.  Those same CDs were read perfectly by our
Model 520 with the same DVD drive.  This is a rare occasion, but if you have
strange issues reading plain CDs in the DVD drive, have the drive replaced.
Worked in both cases to fix the issue.

I recently worked for a company that had an 810 running V5R2 with the
DVD drive.  Read the CD's from IBM just fine.

Subject: Iseries Cd vs DVD option

I'm considering getting a used Iseries box with V5R2 on it so that it
can be backward compatible to V4R5. One of the options I'm told is a DVD
reader and I've 2 questions
Is that DVD reader capable of reading CD-ROMs at V5R2?
Is it just another optical device for the purpose of specifying it in
commands?

Steve
